Custom Error Pages

An error can take place when the web hosting server cannot process a request (Error 400), if you need to log in so that you can see some content and you haven't done so (Error 401), if you are not able to access a page (Error 403) or if a link leads to a file that is not on the hosting server (Error 404).

That’s why some web hosting service providers permit you to apply your own error pages that'll match the style of your own Internet site and which can have any content which you would like - info why the error has appeared, a suggestion how to handle it or even some funny remark. This type of function shall help you keep the visitor on the site irrespective of the error or the reason for it.
